Nagpur: After breaking all records in the timely completion of various stages of its project work, Maha Metro Nagpur has added another feather up its cap. Nagpur Metro Rail Project’s Facebook Page has generated over 4.35 lakh likes to become the number one page across all the Metro rail projects across the country, beating Kochi Metro Rail Corporation’s Facebook page.
Till recently, Maha Metro Nagpur Project’s Facebook Page held the second position after Kochi Metro Rail Corporation, in terms of Facebook page likes. But it has leapfrogged ahead with 4,35,320 likes and is the most liked Facebook page in country today. The page commands maximum likes among any other Facebook page showcased by any department of the country.
It is interesting to note that, while Kochi Metro Rail Corporation has already started operations, Nagpur is yet to do so. Nagpur Metro Facebook page was launched on 12th January 2015. However it soon became popular among netizens. This was possible because of the varied and informative posts on pages and the quick responses to the same. “We are very happy with response to our citizen connect initiative by way of regular Metro Samwaad in locality of each of our stations in Nagpur, drive for making Metro Mitras and opening of Mahiti Kendras and Sahyog Kendras, in addition to regular updation on social media and web-site etc,’’ said Dr Brijesh Dixit, MD Maha Metro.
